Razewing Rathalos is a Deviant of Rathalos

Physiology

Razewing Rathalos is notably larger than a normal Rathalos, and the scales on it's wings appear blue rather than the usual red, gradually fading to black the farther out and further back the wings go. The membranes on its wings are slightly damaged, and have a unique flame pattern. When it breathes fire, the scales around the feathers on the outermost parts of its wings glow a fiery orange before releasing steam.

Abilities

Razewing's flames are hotter and more powerful than a normal Rathalos, especially when it's enraged. Its poison is also more potent, and is located in both its talons and its tail.

Ecological Information

Placement in Food Chain

Like Rathalos, Razewing is an apex predator, being very high up on the food chain. He mostly feeds on Herbivores such as Kelby and Popo, as well as the occasional Wingdrake. If food becomes scarce, he will target somewhat larger monsters such as Great Maccao or Kulu-Ya-Ku. He competes with other apex monsters such as Legiana, Zinogre, and other Rathalos for food or territory. He will even clash with Elder Dragons on some rare occasions.

Behavior Toward Other Monsters

Razewing Rathalos typically ignored other monsters. Unlike both Rathalos and Azure Rathalos, Razewing will not call upon Rathian for aid if both are in the same locale, but also won't attack Rathian.

Tracks

Razewing Rathalos can leave Footprints on the ground, as well as Claw Marks or Strange Scorch Marks on the ground or on walls,

Specific Locale Interactions

Razewing Ratha can sometimes be seen walking or flying around the locale it's currently in. It can also be seen resting in certain spots, resting its wings or grooming itself. It will rest in higher areas more often than lower areas. It will also fling small rocks in four directions

Ecology

Habitat Range

In the Old World, Razewing Rathalos can be found at the Shrine Ruins, Frost Islands, Sandy Plains, and Lava Caverns. In the New World, it can be found at the Ancient Forest, Wildspire Wastes, Elder's Recess, Hoarfrost Reach, and Guiding Lands. It has also been sighted at the Coral Palace and Castle Schrade

Ecological Niche

Razewing Rathalos normally eats smaller monsters such as Popo and Aptonoth, but may occasionally prey upon larger monsters such as Great Jagras or Kulu-Ya-Ku. While it does not have any predators, it will frequently compete for territory for other dangerous monsters such as Zinogre or Rajang, even going as far as to challenge Elder Dragons such as Kushala Daora or Valstrax.

Biological Adaptations

Like most other Rathalos, Razewing Rathalos has adept flying capabilities, though these capabilities are taken to new heights due to mutations in its wings. They are discolored, and notably larger, letting Razewing stay in the air and maneuver much better than a standard Rathalos. Its body temperature is also abnormally high, and its wings are also used to vent excessive heat by exposing his blood cells to the cooler air. Both its tail and talons are poisonous, and have more potent poison than Rathian or Rathalos. Razewing's flame sac produces purple embers that can spontaneously combust, and if it becomes enraged, its scales darken, and its flames will become hotter. The purpose of its scales changing color is currently unknown, but the working theories are that it's used for camouflage or mimicry, or for taking in sunlight to raise its body temperature further. When its body temperature spikes, it enters a state labeled "Ruin State," where its flame sac increases production of these purple embers, which quickly combust due to the immense heat. The excess embers are expelled from its wings in a similar fashion as excessive heat is, but they immediately combust as they leave its body, essentially causing its wings to burst into purple flames.

Behavior

Razewing Ratha is extremely dangerous. The guild only allows hunters with special permissions to attempt to hunt it.

Description

Razewing Rathalos
	"A mysterious deviant of Rathalos with flames that are unique even among his own species. It is fabled that the flames of his wings can bring about the ruin of the very world around him. Requires special permissions to hunt."

Cutscenes

Cutscene 1: "The Unusual Rathalos"

Quest: "Temperate Temperatures"
Location: Hoarfrost Reach zone 10
Synopsis: The hunter enters the northern side of Zone 10, looking for the Tempered Shrieking Legiana they were tasked with hunting. They stop for a moment to look around, only to hear a familiar ear-piercing cry above them. The hunter turns around and sees the Shrieking Legiana flying overhead. The Shrieking Legiana dives down towards the hunter, who dodges just as it crashes into the ground, sliding and tumbling across the ice. The Shrieking Legiana gets up as they face each other, and the hunter notices that the monster has visible burns and injuries. The Shrieking Legiana lets out another cry, but then a secondary roar is heard. The Hunter turns around and sees a Rathalos with blue wings in the air above them. The Shrieking Legiana backs up, almost slipping off of the icy cliff, and the Rathalos spits a fireball at the ground between the hunter and Shrieking Legiana, making the ground shake and crumble under them. The hunter leaps to safety, and the Shrieking Legiana takes to the sky, flying away with the Rathalos in hot pursuit. The hunter watches as the two monsters leave.

Cutscene 2: "The Wings of Fire"

Quest: "Flames Above the Ruins"
Location: Castle Schrade
Synopsis: The hunter swoops down via Wingdrake to the old scorched battlefield where they and Aiden fought Fatalis, looking around the place before a roar fills the sky.

Cutscene 3: "The Wings of Ruin"

Quest: "Flames Above the Ruins"
Location: Castle Schrade
Synopsis: Razewing Rathalos staggers back from taking the hit that initiated the cutscene. He takes a few steps back as purple embers begin coming off of his wings. Razewing lets out a roar as his eyes glow and the embers burst into purple flames, sending the Hunter flying backwards. The hunter gets back up, seeing a cloud of smoke where Razewing was before. With a flap of his wings, Razewing clears the smoke, revealing his Ruin state. The hunter gets ready to fight as Razewing lets out an ear piercing cry.
